There's no doubt players come and go over the years in football, and Crystal Palace have certainly seen a few names on a short-term period.

So we thought we'd come up with a 'Where are they now?' feature at the Croydon Advertiser.

Today, we have looked through a long list of players over the last decade and have picked out a former midfielder, who came through Palace's youth ranks and made his first debut for the club in 2008 at 17 years old.

This man came off the substitutes' bench in a League Cup clash at Selhurst Park against Hereford United in August that year, before featuring late on in his first Championship game 11 days later against Burnley.

In total, he went on to play 37 games and scored once in all competitions.

So what happened to Kieran Djilali, formerly of Streatham's Dunraven School?

2008 looked to be his breakthrough year, as he went to be part of the first team squad for a few games following his debut in August and September. But he went to make just two more appearances that season.

Djilali played for Palace in the League Cup first round a year later, before being sent out on a one-month loan to Crawley Town, where he played five games.

He then went to Chesterfield on loan in November 2009 for two months, scoring once in eight games before he returned to Palace, who decided to put him back into their first team match day squad for the rest the season, playing ten times and scoring his only goal in the club's colours against Doncaster Rovers.

Djilali started the 2010/11 campaign with 16 appearances in all competitions before he returned to Chesterfield on loan for the remainder, featuring ten times with one goal scored.

But when he returned to Palace, he was told he was being released in the summer of 2011, but he didn't have to move far, as AFC Wimbledon came in for his services and he played 14 times for them that season.

The summer of 2012 was certainly interesting for Djalili, as he was signed by Portsmouth, only to play just once for them Bournemouth before having his contract terminated.

However, it is believed he also tried his hand at cricket, with someone of the same name playing for Southern Railway and Kenley, a team just outside of Croydon. Djilali would sign for AFC Wimbledon once again months later, but again, it was brief.

After some time to consider his next move, Djilali left England to try his luck in Ireland with Sligo Rovers. And he hit the ground running with five goals in ten games. In 2014, he played a couple more games for the club, in which he scored in each, too. He also featured in a Champions League qualifying match.

Djilali remained in Ireland and signed for Limerick, who he played for just once but scored two goals, before his next brief stint was at Cork City in November 2014, scoring once again in his only game for the club.

Since then? Well, he didn't played much due to injury, and in September 2016, Djilali returned to England and played for Dulwich Hamlet, featuring three times as a substitute, before deciding on stepping down another level at Three Bridges, a club based just by Crawley.

He scored his on debut there in a 5-3 home defeat to Lewes.

As of January this year, Djilali took a step back from playing and instead turned to coaching, after passing and gaining his UEFA 'B' licence.

As well as working in grassroots football, Djilali is also Development Centre Lead Coach at Fulham Football Club, based at their Motspur Park training ground.
